imaqGetAngle
Usage
int imaqGetAngle(PointFloat start1, PointFloat end1, PointFloat start2, PointFloat end2, float* angle);
Purpose
Returns the angle, in degrees, between two lines. The returned angle represents the rotation around start1 required so that the line from start1 to end1 is parallel with the line from start2 to end2. The following figure illustrates how the function calculates the angle between two lines.
